Crawdaen Ancient Death Curse

[contributor]

I've been meaning to bring this up for a long time but keep forgetting. Is it intended that their death curse only works when they are killed by Juggernaut and Vraes moves into the square that they were in? After killing them this is the only time I've seen their death curse apply and it is very regular, i.e. every time they are killed they don't curse adjacent squares they only curse Vraes when he kills with Juggernaut.

contributor - death curse (as explained in tutorial dialog the first time it happens) curses a melee combatant who kills the monster.

Maybe I'm dense but, how does that explain the fact that only Vraes is ever cursed by them and only when he kills them with Juggernaut and moves into their square.

@contributor - I don't know. The way that I understand have seen Death Curses working is that it has nothing to do with Juggernaut or moving.

I think there is a misunderstanding here fallen. The curse is working, however, instead of it having a range of 1 (ie 1 square out in every direction from its death location) it has a range of 0 (ie, only on the exact tile it dies on). All other death curses in the game seem to be functioning normally but the Ancient Crawden specifically has its death curse’s range reduced.

Yeah, sorry if it wasn't clear from the title. This pertains only to the Crawdaen Ancient which behaves differently than any other death curse in the game.

Thanks for clarifying. We handle so many bug reports every day, it is really hard to sort through them for the nugget of gold if it isn't 100% obvious.

contributor thanks for your tenacity explaining. matrim thanks for crystalizing it.

Glad we could get this fixed!
